On Day 3 of swimming lessons, the boys practiced the skills already learned, moved onto floating on their backs, started to learn the back stroke and played a game to dive and grab a submerged ring.
Warming up...
Practicing swimming skills - Andrew...
Practicing swimming skills - Jared...
Practicing swimming skills - Wesley...
Now, it was time to try it on our backs!
Andrew...
Jared...
Wesley...
The last activity of the day is attempting to grab a ring that Coach Kayla drops on the stairs. Percy and Zoe, our classmates, both are able to go under the water to grab the ring. The Darnell boys are monkeys that prefer to just grab the ring with their toes...
After class, Andrew and Zoe continued to practice getting the ring. Andrew tried and, as you can see in the video, REALLY wanted to go under and get the ring. There were several video clips of Andrew trying to go under and Daddy encouraging him to do it. I watched last night and was trying to will him under the water but it didn't happen. Very soon, very soon...
Another great day at swimming lessons boys!!! Keep up the great work!! I look forward to going to the pool with you guys this weekend so you can show me your new skills in person.
Take care,
